JotYou: Localtion Based Text Messaging in the USA

February 20, 2008 General

JotYou is location based messaging for US cell phones. You can send a message to your friends so they get it when they arrive at a specific location. You send a message to one person or many people, and specify a delivery time and location using the Google map on the computer, or by specifying an address from your mobile. When they arrive at the location you specify, JotYou alerts them by buzzing their cell phone, and delivering the message.

JotYou also has a tracking feature that you can enable for fun games, events, and contests. The event organizer creates a tracking group, and can watch the locations of participants on the map as the event proceeds, and the times they were at those locations. The tracker only works when you allow it to, and visibility of location data is restricted by the group owner.

For the first time criminal hackers may have succeeded in creating a network of “zombie” cellphones, infected without the owners’ knowledge with software that can be used to send spam or carry out cyber attacks. Symantec says that a piece of software known as Sexy Space may be the first case.

Sexy Space uses text messages reading “A very sexy girl, Try it now!” to jump between phones. The messages contains a link that, when clicked, asks the user to download software which, once installed, sends the same message to contacts stored in the phone. […]
